Russian style cooking: Marinated Aubergine (Eggplant) in vinegar, with dill and garlic recipe.



Marinated Eggplant is first cooked in vinegar, so it is much like an eggplant pickle. A bit of garlic and dill will give it plenty of flavour, making it perfect for serving alongside salads or simply spreading on crispy toasts or fresh baguette.

Marinated Eggplant in vinegar
Ingredients:

2 large Aubergines (400g each)
2 tablespoons of salt
6 tablespoons  10% distilled white vinegar or cider vinegar
4-5 cloves garlic
100g fresh dill
аbout 60-80g sunflower or vegetable oil
2 litres of filtered water

Method:
To make the marinade, bring 2 liters of water (with 2tbsp of salt & 6tbsp of vinegar)
to the boil in a large pot over medium heat.While the water is warming up, prepare the other ingredients: Chop the aubergines into pieces, chop dill and peel garlic.

Place aubergine into the boiling marinade and boil, irring occasionally, until tender (approx. 5-7 minutes). Drain the aubergine using a sieve or collander, set collander over a pan and leave to cool down for couple hours, or until room temperature.

Stir together aubergine, garlic, dill, and oil in a bowl. When well mixed, cover with cling film and marinate the aubergine in fridge for at least 4 hours. Marinated aubergine can be kept, chilled, for
up to 1 month.
